Abstract

A guitar stand includes a lower bracket formed on a lower part of a body. A tube is mounted at an upper part of the body. A shaft is longitudinally received in the tube and extends in a hollow seat. A handle is formed on the shaft and upright extends through a channel in the shaft. A resilient member is provided outside the shaft. Two levers each have a pivot hole and a slot defined therethrough. A fastener is inserted through the slots to fasten the shaft between the levers. Two pivot pins are respectively inserted in the pivot holes and the seat to pivotally mount the levers in the seat. Two arcuate arms are respectively provided at distal ends of the levers. By pushing the handle along the channel, the arcuate arms can be temporarily opened for clamping a neck of a guitar.
